I found an interesting quick article on foam rolling and roller devices being used for athletes.  Doesn't really look like there is a downside to it, and after 12 years of using such devices myself, I find them very helpful with warm-ups and recovery techniques.  Here is the link:

When The Stick device came out, the franchise I worked for had a deal with the company and we had access to using The Stick devices for our athletes.  I bought my own and later carried them to every track/XC practice and meet for the teams I coached for. I have been using The Stick and other stick-like rollers for years now.  One of my favorites lately is a spiky roller you can get at Target right now, its only about $16 and is pretty nice to use. 

Think about getting one if you have difficulty warming-up and have tight, sore areas when you stretch & relax at night after a hard run or workout session.
